Status, The Quo

I measured out where a mile is on what I'm calling my 'Tar Chip 1.8 miler'. Since it was a cross train day I did my modified freetrainers.com workout. Ever since I ran that first day I ran outside I've been mapping out different courses around town. It's fun to see the different places I can run now that I'm free of the treadmill. Barring a foot of snow or horrific injury I will be running one run in town next week.

The Future

About Me

I have always been overweight. Back in 1998-99 I lost 80 lbs on no-carb. I was still overweight. I honestly believe the only reason it worked at all was because I was in college and had multiple dinning halls worth of choices to keep me in salad and meat. Once I graduated that year it took about 2 years for all the weight to come back. I never have stuck to much in the way of exercising. At 28 years old a sedentary lifestyle with a taste for high calorie food has gotten me to 367 lbs. Now it's time to see how far running and a vegetable induced portion controlled way of eating can get me.
